  Perhaps I've been a little hasty in my condemnation of the screen. I think we should embrace modernity. It's vital to move forward and not look backwards. Indeed Burlington house is a prime example. It's a masterpiece of modern design, although there are those who pine for the quaint and the old in architecture, and fits in fantastically with the future shape of the town. The detractors who consider it a blight should see it, alongside the screen, as iconic. I'm sure, indeed hope, that Burlington house attains listed building status and others who are shortsighted (yes I was one of them) should positively see the screen as something of a symbol of aspiration.
  I'd like to see perhaps two or three more screens sited in the area. Perhaps Pencester gardens or the Western heights which would serve as a great tourist attraction and could screen programmes pertaining to seafaring.
  A blight? Why no of course not. It's just what this town needs. There is little money to pay for any real regeneration and it's not going to happen in any of our lifetimes which is why the town needs more screens.
  Move forward and not backwards was Churchills favourite sayings and I happen to agree with that.
